Once their digital color presses are up and running, in-plants often discover a few things they wish they had known ahead of time.

Rigby: The HP 3050 ink is a little soft when going through the bindery. We can get a lot of scratching if we are not careful.

Sarantakos: When cutting, you have to limit the number of sheets you can cut at one time to about 1 inch. If you try to cut 3 or 4 inches at a time, the blade gets too hot and it melts the ink and the papers fuse together.
